I was in that race. My sprint is a work in progress. The crash was ahead of me.

But yeah, I see what you mean when they&#39;re paired with a different kit. (Notice how they&#39;re on the front though.)GamJamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04020448447337660705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886192612850045575.post-81157750652874685172010-03-11T06:42:05.795-08:002010-03-11T06:42:05.795-08:00I&#39;m just waiting for an old photo of me to sho...I&#39;m just waiting for an old photo of me to show up here! :)Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05515806021070940876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886192612850045575.post-54821942471182536242010-03-11T06:40:59.869-08:002010-03-11T06:40:59.869-08:00Here are some observations although I can offer no...Here are some observations although I can offer no photographic proof:<br />1) Covering one&#39;s self with aluminum foil to deflect the TX sun! Early 1980&#39;s TX Districts.<br />2) Putting a Walkman and 2 speakers in your jersey pockets in a team time trial and playing Bruce Springsteen&#39;s Born in the USA! My teammate! LMAO<br />3) Wearing an Aero helmet in a criterium,time trialing off the front from the start, and winning! Me! :-)<br />4) Hiding behind a dumpster on the back side of the course and jumping back into the race! My teammate!<br />5) Borrowing someone else&#39;s race number to race! Multiple teammates!<br />6) Chasing 15 miles to get back to the group only to get dropped on the last climb of the day! Me!<br />7) Losing your entire support crew (because they got bored) in the feed zone at the national elite RR! Boy did I bonk with nothing to eat or drink after 80 miles!<br />8) Loosing my rear brake in a crash in a criterium and after the race was restarted went off the front so I didn&#39;t (couldn&#39;t) brake through the corners.<br />9) Getting dropped in multiple races and the officials prolonging my agony because I was in the money! OTB is kind of like soloing off the front in this case!<br />10) And my favorite! Wearing a jersey with the words &quot;This Space for Sale&quot; because our team did not have a sponsor at the beginning of the season! How embarrassing!Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05515806021070940876noreply@blogger.com
